Description
I will discuss the data processing and data handling of the CFHTLenS
and KiDS collaborations. Special emphasis will be given on our
algorithms and processing methods for weak gravitational lensing
studies. I will summarise the current status of our image processing
pipeline THELI which is optimised to produce lensing quality data
from current and future optical Wide-Field Imaging Surveys. Our software suite
encompasses all necessary modules from raw images to multi-band
object catalogues with photometric redshifts and galaxy shapes.
The talk will be complemented with a summary of the lessons we learnt
in the past 15 years to successfully implement and execute an optical Wide-Field Imaging survey.
